Thanks to Elizabeth Joy!

What a wonderful surprise was waiting in my mailbox this afternoon! I opened the door to a full box. A manila envelope contained the Wildflower note cards that I was so fortunate to be awarded. You can see a picture of five of the six cards below.

Because I was on my way downtown this afternoon, when I picked up my mail, I didn't open it until I reached the house of an ailing friend. She's ailing. I'm not. I happily shared one of my cards. She picked the card depicting an orange lily.

These are all photographs of flowers taken in Washington and Oregon states during memorable trips taken by EJ's family. What a wonderful surprise. I am humbled by your generosity, Elizabeth Joy. Thank you so much.

Now I'll have to decide if I want to part with any more of them! ha. ;-)

I'm glad the cards made it to you safely. I'm so glad you like them. I'm honored that you have already blessed an ailing friend with one of them. The Washington lily is one of my favorites. It looks similar to a tiger lily, but is bigger. I photographed it in central Washington on a steep climb up a mountain covered in Wildflowers, on the 4th of July, two years ago.

Gail, Yep... pen name is "Shady" ;-)The beginnings of my arbor is here:http://yardisgreen.blogspot.com/search/label/arbor or just click "arbor" on the bottom of this site. EJ's photos would make a nice grouping, wouldn't they?
